Sunday September 3 Sojos’ will be meeting at the Sojos’ south, right in front of Grace. We will begin singing at 10:30 and will close our worship time around 11:30. We will then share a meal (potluck).
Presently, our plan is as follows. Sojos (Kirk and Russell as elders) is a small house church that wants to stay small most Sundays so we can focus on a dialogue environment for equipping teens. So what do we do if we meet people who are looking for a church? We try and help them find one that fits. We have had times in our church where so many people have come that it becomes really difficult to equip through dialogue. So, if there is not healthy room in our house church, we either connect them with a house church that has more room, or we look to start a new house church. We want to keep our vision for ministry in our group but also help others form up groups. That is where the “co-op” comes in.
The first Sunday of each month will be set aside for a gathering of Christians, mainly from other small house churches. Just like home-schoolers who value a house sized school, we do not want to directly grow into a bigger single church. What we would like to do is help others experience what we experience by doing some of the things we have been doing. The co-op is intended to be a place to be connected with friends in other house churches and a way to naturally share ideas, resources and opportunities for new people and new groups to form.
We would love to try and answer any questions or comments.
